About our storm damage roof report in Cores End
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We are often asked to look into loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and slipped or missing slates or tiles, on flashings, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips.
In a village or hamlet like Cores End, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Cores End: your questions answered
Is my home in Cores End listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Cores End in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Cores End is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.

Why act early in Cores End
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Around Cores End, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.

Leaks and storm damage in Cores End
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. With Cliveden about 1.5 miles south, Cores End sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live in an older home near Cores End United Reformed Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Anyone responsible for a site like St Paul's Church of England Combined School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you own a rental within reach of Bourne End station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
What we do, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit normally takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere like Cores End needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
